His league and championship career at senior level for the Kerry county team spanned twelve years from 1927 to 1938.
Landers made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he was selected for the Kerry senior team.
Over the course of the next eleven years, Landers won five All-Ireland medals, beginning with a record-equalling four championships in-a-row from 1929 to 1932 and a final lone triumph in 1937.
After being chosen on the Munster inter-provincial team for the first time in 1928, Landers was an automatic choice on the starting fifteen until 1935.
Even during his playing days Landers became involved in the administrative affairs of the Gaelic Athletic Association.
